Medicare Coverage refers to the health insurance provided under the Medicare program, a federal initiative in the United States designed primarily for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as certain younger people with disabilities or specific diseases. Medicare Coverage is divided into different parts:
– **Part A** (Hospital Insurance) covers inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, hospice care, and some home health care.
– **Part B** (Medical Insurance) covers outpatient care, preventive services, and some medical supplies.
– **Part C** (Medicare Advantage) allows beneficiaries to receive their Medicare benefits through private health insurance plans approved by Medicare, often providing additional coverage and benefits.
– **Part D** (Prescription Drug Coverage) helps cover the cost of prescription medications.
Medicare Coverage is designed to help mitigate the costs of healthcare, providing access to necessary medical services and prescriptions for eligible participants. While Medicare covers many essential services, it does not cover all healthcare expenses, thus beneficiaries may also consider supplemental insurance options to fill in gaps.
